    "content": "I mentioned a case of the Community Land Act which we passed together with the National Assembly but the regulations which were made by the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Lands, did not come to this House. When we passed that law, we expected that the regulations should also be in line with the spirit with which we passed the law. But if the regulations do not come to this House, then it means that somewhere along the line, we are not fulfilling our responsibilities as legislators and also as defenders of counties because these laws affect counties. If regulations are made which are not in the interest of the counties, then we will not have accomplished our task of defending the interests of the county governments. That is why this amendment was brought so that we ensure that once a Statutory Instrument is developed based on legislation from Parliament, then it is submitted to the two clerks; the Clerk of the Senate and the Clerk of the National Assembly. That is the first Amendment to Section 11; then to Section 15, it is just the time frame that if the time lapses before the Committees finish with the Instrument, then each House can extend for a period of 21 days, the duration required for the Committees to look at that instrument. I second the Bill."
